We had a short stay but we enjoyed it very much! It was our first time down there! It was beautiful each day! And the room was dated but worked out just fine for us!

Reviewer Comments:
My family and I have stayed at El Matador over 15 years, we found this unit needs repairs and really needs an update. We have stayed on 1st floors and they were in better condition. It was disappointing to have to call for third TV in 2nd bedroom, but a TV was installed on the second day.I have always RECOMMENED other families but will not recommend that UNIT 122
